Bird watching tour - Take wings

Bird watching in Rajasthan has caught the
fancy of tourists looking for more than the ordinary in the
desert landscape. One of the lesser known, but widely visited
on Bird watching tours is Khichan, a small village in the
vicinity of Phalodi. Phalodi in recent times had made a name
for itself on account of Bird
watching vacations by people around the globe. The Eurasian
Crane is the favored visitor to this sanctuary.

The Rajasthan Tourist Development Corporation
has recently given Khichan pride of place as one of the “must-see”
Bird watching spots in Rajasthan and is promoting its sights.
Much earlier though, the Demoiselle Cranes
have chosen Khichan as their migratory home during the harsh
winter months in Europe and Mongolia. The visits by the migratory
birds have changed the sleepy town into a noisy crowded place.
The winds bustle carrying the noises “krok-krok”
and the sky forms patterns of black as these birds make the
village their own. A Bird
watching tour of Khichan thus promises a spectacle that
is the dream of all bird lovers. The annual visits of the
Cranes occur during late August. Their sojourn at Khichan
has led to more Bird watching vacations that increase by the
year.

Bird watching vacations in Rajasthan
is a visual feast for the Bird watching connoisseur. Get
close to the famed Demoiselle Cranes. Take wings on a Bird
watching tour to Khichan and you will want to fly back again.
Experience India Tourism in all its colors.
